As the 76ers finish off the regular season with 10 games remaining, the main focus is being healthy when the playoffs begin.
Stars Joel Embiid and James Harden look 100% ready to go for postseason play — both have leg ailments that don’t appear too bad, but why take chance with them.
With a 23-12 road record, 2nd best in the NBA, they take on the Warriors tonight in San Francisco as the champs are having a tough season.
The Sixers can afford keeping their star players on the bench because the team is deeper this year, and they can win games with players out.
The second unit of De’Anthony Melton, Shake Milton, Paul Reed, Georges Niang and Jalen McDaniels can carry a load.
They finish up the trip in Phoenix and Denver before returning home.
Playoff seeding is kind of set now, being a healthy squad for the postseason is a priority.
